It’s the funniest, most emotional, best story & it takes the silliness we love & fully embraces it full force. They do A LOT of cool symbiote stuff & we couldn’t have gotten a better ending to this trilogy that also sets up more. SONY COOKED Y’ALL?.''

“#VenomTheLastDance is the best of the ‘Venom’ movies — the insanity has been ramped up significantly but so has the heart. It’s not perfect but it’s super entertaining and there’s a giant monster that chews people up and sprays blood out of the back of its head. Pretty nuts,'' The Wraps' Drew Taylor wrote.
